Hey everyone. I have read alot of different opinions and techniques as far as light scheduales go so I figured I'd start a new post and see what everyone here has to say.
I am growing 2 - 3 plants in a closet setup which is roughly 3x3. The strain is unknown and I am using 3 - 4 CFL 75w bulbs which are 1200 lumens each (not sure if these are good or bad at this point, still waiting for a reply on the other post).
I was thinking for the first two weeks to run on 20/4 and after that switching over to 12/12. Should there be another cycle in between? Also should I wait to see a certain change in the plant before switching over to 12/12, as far as I know this is supposed to be done to begin the flowering process, correct?
Lastly do I have to necessarily change the type of bulbs I'm using once I begin the flowering state? Sorry for all the questions I just want to make sure I have a clue at what I'm doing before I ruin anything going into this. Any help is appreciated.
